Salpic\u00f3n is a cold fruit drink that is very popular in Colombia, especially on hot days, during family outings, and at street-food stands. The best-known version combines diced watermelon, other fresh fruits, watermelon juice, and Colombian red soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is served very cold in large cups with a spoon, since the fruit is an essential part of the experience. Colorful, refreshing, and sweet, it is closely associated with warm Colombian afternoons.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 600 g seedless watermelon, cut into small cubes (4 cups)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 150 g ripe papaya, cut into small cubes (1 cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 150 g ripe mango, cut into small cubes (1 cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 120 g fresh pineapple, cut into small cubes (1 cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 120 g banana, sliced (1 large banana)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 250 ml strained watermelon juice (1 cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 500 ml Colombian red soda (2 cups)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 120 g ice (1 cup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 60 ml sweetened condensed milk (\u00bc cup), optional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Prepare the fruit,<\/strong> cut the watermelon, papaya, mango, and pineapple into small, evenly sized cubes. Slice the banana just before mixing so it keeps its color longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Build the base,<\/strong> place all the fruit in a large pitcher and add the watermelon juice. Stir gently so the fruit cubes stay intact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Chill the salpic\u00f3n,<\/strong> add the ice and pour in the red soda just before serving. Stir only once, gently, so the soda keeps its carbonation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Serve right away,<\/strong> divide the salpic\u00f3n among tall glasses, making sure each serving has plenty of fruit and liquid. Drizzle a little condensed milk over each glass for a sweeter, creamier version.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Chef\u2019s tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Use ripe, sweet watermelon because it provides much of the drink\u2019s flavor and color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Chill the fruit before assembling the salpic\u00f3n so you do not need to use too much ice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Add the red soda at the end to preserve its bubbles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Do not make it too far in advance, since some fruits release liquid and can change the texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Traditional variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Across Colombia, salpic\u00f3n may also include apple, strawberries, cantaloupe, or grapes. Some versions are topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or extra condensed milk, especially at fruit stands and ice cream shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Serve salpic\u00f3n very cold in tall glasses with a spoon and straw. The traditional presentation lets you eat the fruit while sipping the juice and soda. It is commonly enjoyed as an afternoon snack or a refreshing treat on hot days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Recommended pairings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • It is usually enjoyed on its own as a refreshing drink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Colombian obleas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Wafer cookies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Colombian empanadas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          A cultural note<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Although the word salpic\u00f3n can describe savory dishes in other Spanish-speaking countries, in Colombia it is mainly associated with a cold fruit drink or dessert. Red soda gives it the vibrant color and distinctive flavor that many people immediately recognize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
